sorry?ss version of an interesting piece ofhistory

Revisado: 08-18-24

very interesting history of Africa.
but far too much blame and sorry for the author.
Also a hole lot of "the sun was shining from a blue sky, when I walked dow. the .... to meet mr/ms/? so-and-so"
(boring and selfish)

I could not complete it as my bs filter overflowed.

Woke semi science

Revisado: 10-15-22

somewhat interesting, but only true to science ~ 90% of the book.
especially the last chapter is a piece of wannabe feelgood science.
Also a few cases where the opposite term is used (no big deal, but worrysome)

Unusable as audiobook - but interesting content

Revisado: 10-08-22

This is sad.
The content seems to be very good and interesting, but it contain a million lists (and similar data) which is completely unusable as and audiobook, At some point you will simply fade out and wait for all the long lists to simply end....

The Narrator is good, and deserves 4 stares, but he should have pushed Audible to release an pdf along with the sound.

thin layer of woke-ism polluting a great book

60% Stoicism + 40% waste of time

Revisado: 08-24-21

The first part is actually on stoicism - and quite interesting too.
somewhere around 60% it turns into a listing of "Stoics are:" and a looooong list of super human traits. This part is so degrading for the topic, as it seems as if stoics are persons who like to listen to long lists about how great/superior they are....
Last part is marketing of other books... very annoying to me.

Love book #1, dispise #2, ignoring #3

Revisado: 03-17-21

i love the first book, the second was naive political BS. I am not going to listen to the third.

the author is very strong on the topics in book #1, and it is brilliant. very brilliant.

Too much "other"

Revisado: 08-28-20

I get annoyed by political statements, economical "truths", the "how-to" part and other irrelevant comments.
...But the 80% is spot on, but i sadly knew most of it already.
So it may fit you better???

Possible a good book if you only plan on reading one book every 10 or 20 years.
This book contains nothing but Scott talking in "I am god"-mode, with no new or event recent information.
Scott explains a bit of basic economics - in case you are not knowledgeable in that domain. everything else is just yada yada yada.
I own all Scotts previous books and i love them, but this one should never have been.

Dear Scott: please check if the battery in your pager is inserted the wrong way around.
(In case you did not read his previous books, this is a reference to his own text stating that we all act like ..... sometimes)

Do not buy this book unless you are clueless.

Come again Scott.

80% irrelevant spam, 20% important ham

Revisado: 09-29-19

Cathy has many very good points, and take the reader to a higher level. I find this book important.
...But...
It is really annoying that every good point is followed by a long rant about "evil big corperation" / "evil anti lbgt" / "this is unfair!" / "immoral" /"evil racist"...or whatever Cathy feels at the moment of writing.... Very annoying.
I hope that Cathy will figure that "Fairness" is impossible to define across time, place and culture, and then edit the book to simple point out her strong base points.
I found it very hard to finish this audiobook, especial the "Conclusion" chapter - it is a highly political chapter trying to put Cathy on the highest moral grounds in the universe.

Conclusion: The book has some very interesting content, but 80% spam.

Many very good points, but also some misses.

Revisado: 10-01-18

There is good reasons to read this book, it contains many great insights.
but you need to overcome a few misfires, which he actually indirectly addresses in other people's work :-)
